Boxes:

• Label all boxes clearly and develop a simple system that allows your movers to know which box belongs in which room

• Do not mix delicate items with non-delicate items.

• Try to use boxes specifically designed for moving, rather than finding makeshift boxes

• Do not separate items that belong together. It can be a painful process trying to locate screws and other small parts

 

Delicates:

• Wrap delicate items such as china and glassware in clean paper. Use newspaper only for extra padding as the ink can ruin the items.

• After you have packed your delicates in a sturdy box, any empty spaces should be filled with extra paper to prevent items from moving around

• Make sure you label the boxes DELICATE or GLASS so movers will take extra care with them

 

Major Appliances:

• Washing Machine - stuff towels inside the tub to prevent it from rotating during the move

• Freezer/Refrigerator - defrost and dry the interior, make sure the refrigerator stands upright for 24 hours before plugging it in

 

Large items:

• Cover edges (such as table corners) with a rag and a rubber band. This will prevent them from damaging other items during the move

• Keep heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top

 

Radios, computers and Tvs:

• These items should be boxed upright and padded on every side

• Extra bubble wrap should be applied to tv screens and computer monitors

• Wind electrical cords, fastening them so they do not dangle

 

Bedding and Clothes:

• These travel best in wardrobe boxes or suitcases

 

Dressers, Cabinets and Drawers

• Secure all drawers with blankets and padding before tying them with rope (tape can ruin the finish)

• Do not overload the drawers with heavy items
